You're right ... I ran it down here myself last night and was
going to ask for a copy. Thanks very much!
It's a host system problem, made up of a combination of the
following:
1. The legacy devices on the motherboard are poorly implemented.
2. The old m$ mouse protocol appears to be forgotten about in
kernel development. I don't care, but it acts up on the console.
But I currently am using an m$ mouse, which crashes a couple of
times a day if I work in consoles, dumping in extra characters
onscreen.
3. Something isn't right about the readline functions. Perhaps the
above two explain it, but vim can also misbehave with
inserting/replacing, e.g. operating replace while displaying "Insert"
These are not issues I wanted to suffer through ironing out - just
modernize my way out of them. They are not normally beyond
niusance, but there is a line wrapped in that text, and it took me
some time to realize lynx wasn't displaying the page correctly
either. I copied hardened-specs.sh in the other base system here,
and diffed the two. Here's the result: (The key to this is
unwanted return characters: I have broken the line once, and
indicated as much (between nonow: & -z)
24,25c24,25
< %{pie:-pie}%{!no-pie:%{!static:%{!Bstatic:%{!i:%{!r: %{!nonow: \
-z now} %{!norelro: -z relro} %{!shared:%{!Bshareable:%{!pie: -p
< ie}}}}}}}}

You can see where the 'unknown option -p' came from. Likewise
'shared' would hardly be interpeted correctly with a carriage
return in the middle of it. Lynx was operating under framebuffer
at 128 characters accross and that is well beyond any option I
might have set in lynx.cfg.
You guys might seriously consider a split in that line?
/goes off to try that script.
